You’re Not Being Realistic

You’re Not Being Realistic

What have you wanted to do lately that you haven’t done because you’re afraid you’re not being realistic?

What have you wanted to do with your life that you’ve not done because someone around you said it wasn’t realistic?

What have you wanted to do in your life but were afraid because someone close to you said, “You probably shouldn’t do that, I don’t want you to be disappointed if it doesn’t work out, it just doesn’t seem realistic.”

Who said whatever it is you wanted to accomplish had to be realistic?

Some examples of not being realistic:

  1. Being the first person to ever run the 4 minute mile–It was first achieved in 1954 by Roger Bannister
  2. Being the first person to take flight with a plane-First achieved December 17th 1903 by Orvil Wright
  3. Breaking the sound barrier-First achieved October 14th 1947 by Chuck Yeager

Consider this question, what happened to your dream?

Why You Want to be Unrealstic

  • What’s the fun or the challenge in it if it’s realistic?
  • Where’s the innovation?
  • where’s the creativity?
  • Where’s the gratification of accomplishing what was so unrealistic?

Make a list right now of what you’ve always wanted to accomplish with your life. Even if it seems unrealistic.

Ask yourself the questions, “Is it unrealistic or do I just have a fear of failing at it?”

What do you truly believe would be more fulfilling, what you’re doing right now with your life? Or the pursuit of your unrealistic dream?

If you’re already pursuing your unrealistic dream, share how you embraced it and some of the challenges you overcame.

    Great message Tony, thanks for sharing this. Often when we say we’re just being realistic, it is just a way of justifying our inaction. Personally this is still something I need to work on, but having the awareness is a step in the right direction.

    It reminds me of a quote I love from Osho:
    Be realistic: plan for a miracle.

    As we go through the process of awakening to who we really are, that we really are infinitely powerful co-creators, I feel that our view of what is realistic will change dramatically.

    I would say expunge the notion of ‘unrealistic’ altogether… when we are fully aware of our true self, anything is possible and anything previously considered ‘unrealistic’ becomes realistic.

    Keep shining your light, Tony.

    Peace & Blessings,
    Andre

    Such true words brother. I used the unrealistic metaphor because I was told today that something I wanted to do was unrealistic. These pages are made up of my life and tend to splash it across the pages in all it’s guts and glory. Usually what the teacher teaches, they are teaching for themselves? lol I agree with expunging the notion of unrealistic. It’s only unrealistic if the mind is unconscious of it’s infinity. Love & Light my friend, Thank you for your contribution as always.
